Shake-Table Test Data for a Four-Storey RC-URM Building Structure

A publicly available data set recorded during the shake-table test of a half-scale structure with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls at the TREES laboratory of EUCENTRE in Pavia, Italy. The test unit was subjected to several shakings of different intensity levels, and the data set includes both unprocessed and processed, synchronized measurements. The data was produced as part of a research initiative at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) and is intended for validation of numerical and mechanical models.

Use Cases

• Validate finite element models based on synchronized optical and conventional sensor measurements.
• Analyze seismic performance and damage progression based on derived quantities like base shear and top displacement.
• Calibrate material models using the provided geometry and construction material properties.

Strengths

• Includes both raw unprocessed data and a processed set with synchronized conventional and optical measurements.
• Provides derived data for key engineering quantities such as base shear and top displacement.
• Companion paper describes the performance of the test unit, offering context for analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML tasks.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
